6.2

You can specify a routed gateway reservation policy in the multi-machine blueprint to identify which
reservations to use when provisioning the multi-machine routed gateway. By default, vRealize Automation
uses the same reservations for the routed gateway and the multi-machine components.
You select one or more security groups in the reservation to enforce baseline security policy for all
component machines provisioned with that reservation in vRealize Automation. Every component
machine provisioned with the relevant reservation is added to these specified security groups.
Successful provisioning of components requires the transport zone of the reservation to match the
transport zone of a multi-machine blueprint when that blueprint defines multi-machine networks. Similarly,
provisioning a multi-machine router gateway requires matching transport zones for the reservation and
the multi-machine blueprint.
When you select a reservation routed gateway and network profile on a reservation for configuring routed
networks, select the network path to be used in linking routed networks together and assign it the external
network profile that was used to configure the routed network profile. The list of network profiles available
to be assigned to a network path is filtered to match the subnet of the network path based on the subnet
mask and primary IP address selected for the network interface.
The routed gateway must be configured in the NSX or vCloud Networking and Security environment. For
NSX, you must have a working NSX Edge instance before you can configure the default gateway for
static routes or dynamic routing details for an Edge Services Gateway or Distributed Router. See NSX
Administration Guide. Inventory data collection must have run.
Create a Reservation
In a reservation, you can specify a transport zone to indicate the diameter and scope of the compute
infrastructure available for network virtualization. You can also assign external networks and routed
gateways to specify how application tiers connect to external networks.
Prerequisites
n
Log in to the vRealize Automation console as an IaaS administrator.
n
Verify that a tenant administrator created a business group. For information about how to create a
business group, see IaaS Configuration for Virtual Platforms.
n
Verify that an IaaS administrator created a vCloud Networking and Security or NSX endpoint. See
Create a vSphere Endpoint for Networking and Security Virtualization.
n
NSX logical routers must be configured for static or dynamic routing. See NSX Administration Guide.
n
Security groups must be created and resources configured in the vSphere Client. See NSX
Administration Guide.
n
Verify that the vCenter Server administrator prepared transport zones and clusters.
